GODDARD GAINS.

FARMERS GATHERINGS.

The law of enterprise and progress
is a cooperative effort. We see it
every day and in Me work of all classes.
Political parties, Manufacturing and
mercantile and commefcial enterprises
would tumble to pieces, but for organ
lied cooperative effort \ 1t holds good
as to farmers. If the club does not
suit you, join the Grange or the ALI
ance, join something where you may
meet your brother farmer and grasp
his hand as your brother, and extend
to him that help and receive that help
which is due, one to the other. The
crops will soon be disposed Of, and
you will have ample leisure to join
some one of these organizations and
get the harness -weA- anet~eamfortably
fitted for'the big work that ought to
be done in their meetings during the
long evenings-ef the approaching win
ter>~Fhere are many and great objects
Which the farmers of our State should
endeavor to accomplish but it can be
done only through organized effort.

PROPORTIONS OF A PERFECT
BODY.

The height should be exactly equal
to the distance between the tips of the
middle fingers of either hand when the
arms are fully extended.
Ten times the length of the hand,
or seven and a half times the length
of the foot, or five times the diameter
of the chest, from one armpit to the
other, should also give the height of
the whole body.
The distance from the juncture of
the thighs to the ground should be
the same as from that point to the
crown of the head. The knee should
be precisely midway between the same
point and the bottom of the heel.
The distance from the elbow to the
tip of the middle finger should be the
same as from the elbow to the middle
line of the breat.
From the top of the head to the
level of the chin should be the same
as from the level of the chin to that
of the armpits, and from the heel to
the toe.- United States Gazette.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

Our correspondents will please notice
the limitations placed upon the work
of the Experiment Station by the last
meeting of the Board of Agriculture
Without any special authority for it
the laboratory has, heretofore, under
the directions of the Board, made all
sorts of analysis Of any public interest
for the people of North Carolina. But
now, the legislature having cut down
our appropriation, it became necessary
for the Board to reduce the working
force at the Station. When this was
done the work to be done had also to
be reduced
All the funds for the support Of
this work comes from a tax on an
agricultural commodity. 1t is proper,
therefore, that when some work is. to
be limited it should be something in
no way connected with agriculture.
These were the reasons which made it
necessary for the Board to adopt the
following resolution at their last meet
ing:
Resolred, That all applications for
minerals, ores and mineral waters, &C.,
of no agricultural interests shall be
referred to the Board before they are
analysed" "
The chemical work of the Station
will continue to cover:
The analysis Of Agricultural Chem
icals, Of Composts and Homemade
Fertilizers and of all materials from
which they can be made;
The analysis Of Soils, Marls and
Mucks;
The analysis of Feeding Stuff;
The analysis Of Drinking Waters
and Articles of Food
The Station has facilities for doing
the following botanical and other work:
The examination Of Seed with ref
erence to their purity and capacity to
germinate;
The testing Of varieties of Cultiva-
ted plants;
The examination of grass and weeds.

ONWARD 1T MOVES.

One of the most hopeful indications
that the farmers movement is "here
to stay" is the earnest and active in
terest manifested throughout the State
by men of influence and intelligence.
We see, constantly, the names of lead
ing farmers in all sections, identified
with the movement. A letter from
Moore county, informs us that Mr..
Geo. Wilcox was present at meeting
of the farmers of that county and
aided in the organization Of a club, to
be known as Fair Haven Farmers
Club. ..~
This Club begins with twenty-three
members, and prospect of it's becom-
ing very strong. Dr. Richard Street
was elected Presidents A. J. Jones,
Vice-President A. P. Davis, Secre-
tary, and w. E. Paschall, Treasurer
Postofice of Secretary, Fair Haven,

CORN AND MEAL FOR COWS

Corn is fat-producing food and
if a COW in milk is fed literally on corn
or corn meal she will gradually fatten,
and diminish in the yield of milk.
Remember this and do not make the
mistake of feeding too much corn.
It has been found by experiment
that meal will pass through the diges-
tive organs quicker thar. hay, and that
if the meal is fed to the animal on an
empty stomach, it passes away before
it is fully digested, but if fed after hay
it becomes mingled with it, and more
benefit is derived Do not allow ami
mails to take much water Immediately
after feeding.-The Western Rural.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
AND ITS FRIENDS. (S

1t is known that we started this
paper under most disadvantageous
surroundings. It is not known how
we have toiled and labored in season
and out of season day and night, to
place it beyond the breakers. We
confess with pride and with gratitude
to our friends, thatit has succeeded
beyond our expectations. 1t has made
strong and true friends. 1t has
enjoyed the courteous kindness, if
not cooperation, of the press of the
State, for which it expresses it's pro-
found appreciation. Kind words of en-
dorsement and encouragement are
borne to us by almost every mail. For
all this we feel gratifed.
But we desire to speak few plain,
earnest words to our subscribers.
Ours is an agricultural State Our
people are supporting over one hun
dred and fifty newspapers and jour
nails. Over one hundred Of these are
political papers The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is the only agricultural paper
weekly among them all. Tt is de-
voted exclusively to the interests of
industrial classes. Is it unreasonable
to claim that of the one hundred and
ten thousand subscribers to all our
papers, majority of whom must be
farmers, that The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
ought to have ten thousand subscrib-
ers This would be an average of
but a fraction over one hundred to
each county in the State. Are there
not twenty counties in the State that
with little effort on the part of our
friends would give us five hundred
each by January next p? Are there not
fifty other counties that would give us
two hundred each? Are there not
twenty others that would give us from
fifty to one hundred each If our
